The train ride should take around just around an hour and fifteen minutes and will drop you off at the Manitou train station. You have a few options here when it comes to how to get to a trailhead.
If you opt for the longer route from Manitou, you can simply walk to the trailhead from the train station and take part of the round trip hike from there (total round trip will be around 7 miles).
On the other hand, if you want to take part of one of the other two routes, those will require a taxi or Uber to drive the 5-10 minutes to the trailheads.
Alternatively, you could walk to the two trailheads from the train station, but that could be a bit dangerous as there is no sidewalk along the road (note it is 1.7 miles from the station to the Route 9D trailhead and 3 miles to the Camp Smith Trailhead II).
On weekdays, you will want to take the train to Peekskill instead as the trains don’t run to Manitou during the week (be sure to check the latest schedules so you are up to date). Your best bet here is to simply take a cab/Uber to the trailhead and back.
